For their first day as undergraduates, the School prepared a workshop -Introduction to Medical Profession- in which professors and upperclassmen addressed some questions core topic, from counseling or the Core Curriculum to the work done by Tantaka, the benefits of sports for a medical student or the extra-academic possibilities offered by the University through Campus Creativo.

Dr. Secundino Fernández, Dean, reminded them that they are starting a long distance degree program but emphasized that they will always have the support of what is already "their" School: "We will always demand the maximum from you but you will always be accompanied by us. Take advantage of the constant encouragement of your professors, your advisors and your colleagues to become excellent professionals".

He also encouraged them to respond as soon as possible to what society expects of physicians: "You are going to see the world with a different vision: you have chosen to help people in their most vulnerable moments and you are going to have the privilege of caring for them and their families".
